Description and is it worth a visit
Suoi Tranh Waterfall and Park or Suoi Tranh Waterfall is one of the not very popular natural tourist places of Phu Quoc Island, but in our opinion it is definitely worth a visit. In fact, these are two attractions in one, visited at a single entrance fee. After entering, you will first enter a large theme park of sculptures and traditional buildings, and then you can walk along the trail to a small waterfall with a natural swimming pool where you can cool off from the tropical heat in the waters of a stream filled from underground springs. Locals say that this water can even be drunk, and there will even be a drinking spring along the path to the waterfall, but still we do not recommend drinking water and taking it with you.
The waterfall itself is low, just a little over 3 meters. But the most important thing is that there is a natural swimming pool at its foot. A few more places for swimming can be found on the way to it. An equipped path to it from the park leads through a shady forest, along a stream, past huge boulders covered with green moss, along the way there are sculptures of various animals. The hike to it is not difficult, at a distance of about a kilometer, in time – 15 minutes. Along the stream and at the waterfall there are places to relax, tables and benches where you can have a picnic.
A little bit about the sculpture and architecture park. The park is interesting and worth paying attention to, especially for those who love to be photographed. There are many areas for photo shoots – arbors made of wooden twigs, flowering lawns, houses with thatched roofs, sculptural compositions of animals and people, bonsai trees, a picturesque lake. Large pavilions, probably for events, wooden houses, in which wooden furniture is installed. You can go into them and inspect the interior, some of them have household items and furnishings. The park is well maintained and beautiful, a leisurely walk through it will take at least half an hour.

🚶 How to get there
The waterfall and Suoi Tranh Park are located in the central part of Phu Quoc near the airport (Suoi Tranh Waterfall and Park on the map). There is a good asphalt road leading to the entrance to the park, it is easy to get here by rented transport or taxi (50 000 – 200 000 when ordering via the application), parking is free. You can also get here by free (for now) bus number 20 from the Grand World district and the Duong Dong center, but it rarely runs on schedule.

When you get to the entrance to the park, you will need to pay the entrance fee, and then follow the signs through the park to the waterfall trail, and then follow the trail for 10-15 minutes directly to the waterfall.
